30 September 2023: Subaru BRZ tS confirmed for Australia

The “sharper and more focused” 2024 Subaru BRZ tS has debuted.

Short for ‘tuned by STI’, the BRZ tS returns in second-generation form with unique suspension and Brembo brakes with gold-painted calipers.

“More information on the availability and pricing of the 2024 all-new Subaru BRZ tS will be confirmed soon,” said Subaru Australia.

In addition to the tS, the 2024 Subaru BRZ line-up will also introduce active safety features – including potentially life-saving autonomous emergency braking – for manual transmission variants.

Under the skin, the BRZ tS – firstunveiled at this year’s annual Subiefest California in the United States – adds STI-tuned front and rear Hitachi dampers said to enhance handling.

The “high-performance” Brembo braking system comprises gold-painted 4-piston front calipers, and 2-piston rear calipers, and larger pads and rotors.

Design changes include tS badges on the grille and bootlid, black-painted side mirrors and antenna, and darker 18-inch alloy wheels, with unchanged Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all-season tyres.

Inside, the BRZ tS adds blue contrast stitching throughout, a blue accent for the front seats, and suede “nubuck-like” accents for the instrument cluster hood and door trim.

STI badging is also added for the start/stop button and 7-inch semi-digital instrument cluster, with the latter adding red accents.

Paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission in the US, the BRZ tS is unchanged mechanically, with a 173kW/250Nm 2.4-litre naturally-aspirated boxer-four engine sending power to the rear wheels.

While an automatic version is available in Japan as the BRZ STI Sport, it is unclear if the BRZ tS will be manual-only in Australia or if it'll offer both options.

Launched in 2017, the previous-generation BRZ tS was a permanent offering in Australia with the choice between manual or automatic, but it was dropped in 2021 with the launch of the current BRZ.

The 2024 Subaru BRZ tS will launch in Australia in 2024, with more details to be announced closer to its launch.
